Due to the MEL engine's unique design in deck surface and bore design engine builders have allways been faced with extra work to get the boring bar set up correctly to the MEL's block bore.
A few years ago I have purchased a torque plate that was especially designed for the MEL block. They are in Kultultz garage at this time. Maybe Kultultz can shoot us a few pics and post them below with a brief explanation on how they are designed.
Thanx bunches in advance.
